Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a radio communications system having a plurality of radio zones (hereinafter, referred to as cells) and, more particularly, to a method and a device for controlling the transmission power of an uplink access control signal.
  • a base station and a mobile station In a mobile communications system, for a base station and a mobile station to perform data communication, they need to establish synchronization between them in advance. Since initial access from the mobile station in particular is not always in synchronization, the base station requires some procedure for uplink synchronization with the mobile station.
  • a random access channel (RACH) and an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) are provided for uplink synchronization and uplink data transmission.
  • the RACH is a channel to transmit a control signal for the establishment of uplink synchronization and further to request a resource for the transmission of uplink data.
  • the probability of RACH transmission collision be reduced as low as possible (see 3GPP TS 36.300 V.1.0.0, March 19, 2007).
  • the UL-SCH is a channel to transmit data and Layer-2/Layer-3 control packets.
  • FIG. 1A is a diagram schematically showing a generic structure of a mobile communications system according to LTE
  • FIG. 1B is a resource structure diagram schematically showing radio resources based on both frequency-division and time-division techniques.
  • a RACH and an enhanced dedicated channel (EDCH) share the same frequency resource, multiplexed by using different spreading and scrambling codes.
  • WCDMA wideband code division multiple access
  • EDCH enhanced dedicated channel
  • LTE a plurality of frequency-divided and time-divided resources are shared by a RACH and an UL-SCH exclusively of each other.
  • the LTE uplink has a resource structure in which a system bandwidth of 10 MHz is time-divided into time intervals of 1 msec, each of which is further frequency-divided into widths of 1.25 MHz. Referring to FIG. 1B , each of t1, t2, ...
  • each of FB#1, FB#2, ... on the vertical axis corresponds to a 1.25-MHz-wide frequency resource.
  • one rectangular block defined by one time resource and one frequency resource as shown in FIG. 1B will be simply referred to as "resource.”
  • each base station eNB determines how to allocate such system resources to the RACH and UL-SCH.
  • a RACH resource is periodically allocated as shown in FIG. 1B so that a mobile station UE can gain access to the base station without a long delay. It is also possible to allocate a plurality of RACH resources at a time and thereby secure a sufficient RACH access capacity.
  • Each base station eNB generally broadcasts information indicative of which resource(s) is allocated to the RACH. Therefore, every mobile station UE (User Equipment) in a cell can gain access to the RACH resource(s) whenever the mobile station UE needs, in accordance with the broadcast information.
  • FIG. 2A is a sequence diagram showing a procedure of uplink access through a RACH
  • FIG. 2B is a schematic time chart showing an example of the power ramping performed before synchronization is established through a RACH.
  • BCH broadcast channel
  • P LOSS path loss
  • K initial coefficient K
  • the initial RACH transmission power P init is set so that the reception quality of a RACH signal received by the base station eNB will be kept at a desired level.
  • the mobile station UE performs RACH transmission using a RACH resource at this initial transmission power P init .
  • the base station eNB Upon arrival of this RACH transmission at the base station eNB, the base station eNB sends a RACH response including a value for timing adjustment back to the mobile station UE, whereby the mobile station UE can establish physical-layer synchronization.
  • the mobile station UE sends a scheduling request to the base station eNB.
  • the base station eNB allocates UL-SCH resources in response to this request and sends back a transmission grant.
  • the mobile station UE transmits data packets by using the allocated UL-SCH resources.
  • the mobile station UE when a RACH signal does not arrive at the base station eNB due to an increase in the level of interference or due to the occurrence of fading, the mobile station UE receives no RACH response even after a predetermined period of time has passed. Therefore, the mobile station UE increases its RACH transmission power by a predetermined step P del at each time as shown in FIG. 2B until the mobile station UE receives a RACH response.
  • Such increasing in RACH transmission power step by step is called "power ramping".
  • a period during which the RACH transmission power is increased step by step, starting from the first RACH transmission, is called “power ramping period,” and this power ramping period plus an elapsed time before physical-layer synchronization is established upon receipt of the RACH response is called “RACH access delay.” Accordingly, when a RACH transmission collision occurs, the RACH access delay increases.
  • LTE call setup delay the sum of the RACH access delay and an elapsed time between the establishment of physical-layer synchronization and the establishment of connection upon receipt of the transmission grant.
  • the LTE call setup delay also serves as a key performance indicator (KPI), an object of evaluation, of system performance.
  • KPI key performance indicator
  • the RACH transmission power of the mobile station UE can be set at such a level that sufficient RACH reception quality is secured at the base station eNB while interference to a neighboring cell is suppressed.
  • the mobile station UE can establish synchronization by RACH transmission at lower transmission power than a mobile station UE having a high path loss. Accordingly, uplink interference to a neighboring cell can be effectively prevented.
  • FIG. 3A is a diagram schematically showing how neighboring cells interfere with each other
  • FIG. 3B is a graph showing the RACH access delay varying with the level of RACH interference
  • FIG. 3C is a graph showing the RACH access delay varying with the load of RACH access
  • FIG. 4 is a time chart showing variation in the average RACH access delay and variation in the RACH transmission power offset, to describe the party effect between neighboring cells.
  • a base station tries to make the RACH access delay as short as possible because failing in gaining RACH access causes a delay in a call setup or handover procedure.
  • the RACH access delay can be reduced by increasing the initial RACH transmission power as described above.
  • FIG. 3A it is assumed that the initial RACH transmission power P init has been increased in a cell A. This increase in initial RACH transmission power in the cell A causes an increase in RACH interference with a neighboring cell B.
  • a base station eNB2 controlling the cell B allows the initial RACH transmission power P init to be increased in the cell B in order to shorten the RACH access delay.
  • This increase in initial RACH transmission power in the cell B causes an increase in interference with the neighboring cell A and another neighboring cell C.
  • the initial RACH transmission power is further increased.
  • a phenomenon called "party effect” is caused, in which the cause and effect repeat between neighboring cells, whereby the initial RACH transmission power is increased more and more.
  • the initial RACH transmission power is reciprocally increased between neighboring cells, which causes a chain reaction, resulting in the initial RACH transmission power P init being ultimately set at a maximum value in every cell.
  • the RACH access delay becomes longer.
  • the level of RACH interference can be measured, for example, as the number of failed RACH transmissions (that is, the number of RACH transmissions made before a RACH response shown in FIG. 2B is received), which is reported to a base station from a mobile station present in the cell of the base station. Therefore, the RACH access delay is measured by using this number, and statistical processing is further performed, whereby the average RACH access delay can be obtained.
  • the frequency of RACH access (the load of RACH access) can be measured as the number of times a base station receives RACH access from mobile stations present in the cell of the base station. Therefore, this number is similarly subjected to statistical processing, whereby the average RACH access delay can be obtained.
  • each base station eNB raises a RACH transmission power offset as shown in FIG. 4 so that the initial RACH transmission power will be increased step by step.
  • This operation causes the above-described "party effect,” resulting in the initial RACH transmission power being set at a maximum value in every cell in the end. This is a cause for degradation of the uplink capacity in the entire network.
  • Such a problem concerns not only the LTE, but may exist in cell-based general radio communications systems using an access scheme (FTDMA) based on a frequency-divided and time-divided resource structure.

  • An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problem and to provide an uplink access transmission power control method and device that can control inter-cell interference.
  • a control method of uplink access transmission power in each of a plurality of radio communication devices each controlling cells in a radio communications system includes: detecting an uplink access delay in a cell of the radio communication device; comparing amount of access delay obtained from the uplink access delay with a target delay; and controlling a value related to uplink access transmission power based on the comparison result.
  • inter-cell interference can be controlled by using a target delay in such a manner that a radio communication device controls a value related to the uplink access transmission power in its own cell, based on the result of comparison between the amount of access delay obtained and the target delay in its own cell.
  • uplink access transmission power control can be automatically performed in a radio communications system.
  • control for increasing/decreasing the RACH transmission power offset In this specification, description will be given of control for increasing/decreasing the RACH transmission power itself or the size of an increment/decrement step.

  • FIG. 5A shows an example of the average RACH access delay varying with time.
  • FIG. 5B shows the initial RACH transmission power offset varying with time, which is controlled based on the average RACH access delay.
  • a target RACH access delay (TargetRachDelay), a default initial RACH power P0, and a maximum initial RACH transmission power offset (MaxInitRachP0) are preset on each of radio communication devices respectively controlling cells within a network. These parameters, which are set depending on each cell, may be set by a control station (such as an operation and management server of the network, or a radio resource control server) controlling each radio communication device, or may be set when each radio communication device is installed.
  • the target RACH access delay (TargetRachDelay) may be common among the cells in the network, or may be set for each cell individually.
  • the default initial RACH power P0 and/or the maximum RACH transmission power offset may be set at small values.
  • An average RACH access delay (AvRachDelay) is measured by each radio communication device at constant time intervals.
  • a radio communication device can measure, as the level of RACH interference, for example, the number of failed RACH transmissions (the number of RACH transmissions made before a RACH response shown in FIG. 2 is received), which is reported from a mobile station present in its own cell. Therefore, the radio communication device can obtain the average RACH access delay by statistically processing the numbers of failed RACH transmissions reported from a plurality of mobile stations present within its own cell.
  • this reported information can be included in, for example, a scheduling request to be sent from a mobile station and thereby reported to the radio communication device.
  • the reported information can also be transmitted to the radio communication device by padding an allocated resource with it when the allocated resource is larger than requested by a scheduling request, or when the allocated resource is larger than transmission data.
  • the reported information is generated not by a mobile station UE but on the radio communication device side or on the base station side.
  • a radio communication device can measure, as the frequency of RACH access (the load of RACH access), the number of times a base station eNB has completely received RACH transmission from (the number of times RACH access is gained by) a mobile station UE present in its own cell. Therefore, the radio communication device can obtain the average RACH access delay by statistically processing this number similarly. This method has the advantage that the radio communication device can obtain the average RACH access delay by itself, without reports from mobile stations UE.
  • each radio communication device measures the average RACH access delay (AvRachDelay) at constant time intervals.
  • AvRachDelay the radio communication device compares it with the target RACH access delay (TargetRachDelay).
  • the average RACH access delay at time T1 is smaller than the target RACH access delay, but becomes larger at time T2, and becomes further larger at time T3.
  • initial RACH power P init is the value of the default initial RACH power P0 plus the initial RACH transmission power offset (InitRachP0).
  • the default initial RACH power P0 can be obtained, for example, based on the reception quality of a downlink pilot signal.
  • the radio communication device decreases the initial RACH transmission power offset of its own cell by a predetermined step PDEL from the current value.
  • the fact that the initial RACH transmission power offset becomes smaller increases the possibility that the RACH access delay of a mobile station UE attempting to gain access to this cell becomes larger between time T1 and time T2.
  • the initial RACH transmission power offset is increased by the predetermined step PDEL from the current value.
  • the radio communication device further increases the initial RACH transmission power offset by the predetermined step PDEL.

  • the radio communication device decreases the initial RACH transmission power offset by the predetermined step PDEL from the current value (here, the maximum initial RACH transmission power offset). Since the fact that the initial RACH transmission power offset is decreased leads to a reduction in RACH interference with a neighboring cell, a radio communication device controlling the neighboring cell can also decrease the initial RACH transmission power offset of the neighboring cell. Note that a lower limit may be placed on the decreased initial RACH transmission power offset.
  • the average RACH access delay (AvRachDelay) is equal to the target RACH access delay (TargetRachDelay)
  • setting can be made such that the initial RACH transmission power offset is increased or decreased depending on which one of interference prevention and connection higher priority is placed on in this cell. For example, in the case where the radio communication device controlling this cell places higher priority on interference prevention, the initial RACH transmission power offset is decreased. In the case where higher priority is placed on connection, the initial RACH transmission power offset is increased.

  • the maximum initial RACH transmission power offset can be set in each cell, this reference can be set depending on which one of interference prevention and connection higher priority is placed on in each cell. For example, in the case where a radio communication device controlling a cell places higher priority on interference prevention, it is sufficient that the maximum initial RACH transmission power offset is set at a relatively small value. In the case where higher priority is placed on connection, it is sufficient that the maximum initial RACH transmission power offset is set at a relatively large value.

  • the increment/decrement step PDEL by which the initial RACH transmission power offset (InitRachP0) is increased/decreased the same step size is not necessarily used for an increment step and for a decrement step, but different step sizes may be used.
  • a change can be made between the size of an increment step and the size of a decrement step, depending on the difference between the initial RACH transmission power offset and the maximum initial RACH transmission power offset. For example, at time T1 and time T2, since the difference between the initial RACH transmission power offset and the maximum initial RACH transmission power offset is large, the increment step and the decrement step both can be made large.
